Always Fresh - Fast Content for Your Web Site and Users | |
Presented by Darlene Fichter, Data Library Coordinator, Univ of Saskatchewan Library |
The Course
Keeping a library Web site up to date with fresh content is a challenge for busy library staff and the library webmaster. RSS (rich site summary/RDF site summary/really simple syndication) feeds can help you keep your site current. Learn how to publish, merge, and convert RSS feeds into instant Web content. Discover how libraries have made specialized pages featuring article titles of current journal issues, new library acquisitions, book and movie reviews, and much more. Take away a list of sites that allow anyone to simply cut, paste and publish RSS content to their site in seconds. For the technologically daring in the audience, find out where to download free scripts that allow you to “shake and bake” your own combos. Dive in now and offer new services that auto-magically refresh and keep your audience coming back for more.
